The Ryzen 7 7800X3D launched in 2023 at an MSRP of $449. Fast-forward to today, and the octa-core powerhouse now retails for around $376.99 if you can find one new from stock. Unfortunately, the leaker didn't specify the pricing of the upcoming Ryzen 7 7700X3D. More importantly, it remains unclear if AMD will launch the chip to the general public, restrict it to specific regions, or lock it for OEMs and integrators.
A well-priced Ryzen 7 7700X3D could definitely shake up the mid-range processor segment as the ongoing memory shortage continues to impact the computer hardware market. The bad news is that AMD's Ryzen 7000X3D chips use DDR5 memory, which remains scarce and expensive in the current climate. With no clear sign of stabilization in sight, it's hard to picture consumers wanting to upgrade entire systems even if the Ryzen 7 7700X3D has a very attractive price tag. The new chip might represent an appealing same-socket upgrade for PC builders who haven't yet taken advantage of AMD's X3D tech yet, though.

usertests Good. It will be a different situation from the 5700X3D which became the last resort for some when the 5800X3D dried up (and later the 5700X3D also disappeared). Maybe this drops in at $300, and after production ends, you can look at Zen 5/6/7 instead. Reply

This statement in the bottom of the article make far more difference than difference in the price of the cpu chips. Reply
hotaru251 CPU's arent the issue…. its the storage & ram to run them & the game devs who quit optimizing games and just brute force graphics meanign you need a 80 tier gpu for a normal expected performance Reply

Starfal My 5 friends got 7800X3D for 290 bucks last week… so um. This being slower + 300+ is weird. 7800X3D is still being sold everywhere here. Reply

Even the CPU itself is a rumor. 2. I'm seeing $345 (tray) at Newegg, $363 at Amazon, $350 at Micro Center. Your bros' $290 deal seems atypical. 7700X3D probably makes sense at $300, with 7600X3D (Amazon via Micro Center) at around $230-240. Reply
